Our Model
We pursue a market-based approach. Our purpose is to make people to participate in the market system because we don’t want people just to be left beneficiaries but customers to have a responsibility of their products and other opportunities in the market. And this is also not to disturb the current market of rural site of Cambodia.
For this, we lower the entry barriers for solar products which are very high for the villagers because of the high price through install payment. And also, we train some villagers to install Solar Home System and work with us and they get incentives.
Our Future
It has been discussed for many years in Cambodia that how to improve the problem of low accessibility to electricity for the Cambodian people living in rural area. As a result of the numerous discussion, the government of Cambodia set a plan to ensure that 70% of Cambodian households are connected to the national electricity grid by 2030.However, even if the government's plan is 100% implemented, there will be remaining 30% of whole population who can not connected to the grid.
We will fill that space. And for this, we will go into deeper countryside and innovate services and products to make them sustainable and affordable for the villagers.
